"It was around 8pm when two men appeared from the dark pretending to be customers. They suddenly instructed me to give them cash but I refused and they started assaulting while me while pulling me into the dark.
"Mr Khan who was preparing to knock off heard the noise and when he came out to my rescue the third accomplice fired three times and shot him in the ribs," said Sibanda.
Sibanda said the robbers managed to take the bag and all the cash that was in his pocket and ran away.
